Modules & VBA :: Browse And Display In Hyperlink Textbox
May 16, 2014
I'm trying to use ghudson's browse button in a form on MS Access. It works well, but I'm running into a tiny bug after implementing it into my database.
[URL] ....
I am able to browse, I am able to select a file, and am also able to have it display into the hyperlink textbox.
However, when I try to click on the hyperlink in the textbox, it does not take me to the file.
To fix the bug, and to get the hyperlink working again, I have to modify the hyperlink within the textbox, then bring it back as it was. (generally, I hit backspace, and replace the letter I removed.)
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?
I have a form with a textbox with the "LinkedIn" profile address that I want the user to be able to pull up when they click a command button. It works, except that the link opens twice in two tabs in the browser. I've checked over the code for the whole form, and this code is only being run from the click event of the button, so why would it open the same tab twice? Here's the code:
Private Sub cmd_Click() Dim ctl As CommandButton Dim txthyper As String Set ctl = Me!cmd txthyper = Me!LinkedIn
I have a form with multiple textboxes and comboboxes that allow for user entry, and a subform displaying a table, where the entries from the form are saved and can be retrieved. It's basically a way of creating new task entries and editing existing ones from a single interface.
One of the fields is an "issue number" of sorts, which is a 5-digit code that identifies the task. We have a website where details of each task are stored, and the URL format is akin to this: [URL] ....
The functionality that I'm hoping for is that when the user saves the record, it will be saved as the full link address, by concatenating the static first portion of the address and the code entered by the user. However, I need the table to still only display the code, not the whole link address, and will follow the full address when clicked in the subform table.
Me.TxtNotAllowed.Visible = True dtTimer1 = Now dtTimer2 = Now + TimeValue("00:00:10") Me.TxtNotAllowed.Value = "You do not have permission to use this database !" Do Until dtTimer1 >= dtTimer2 dtTimer1 = Now() Loop Me.TxtNotAllowed.Value = "" DoCmd.Quit
The above code will run definitely for the 10 seconds however the textbox and contents do not display HOWEVER if stepped through with breakpoints line by line and the form checked each time the textbox DOES display and its contents.
I have a textbox in a form. What I want it to do is to display the following weeks Monday date. Sounds simple but requires you to know the Monday dates in advance ...
My form has a listbox (lstHeatTreatments - Multi-Select disabled) that displays Heat Treatment descriptions and an unbound textbox (txtHTDetails) that I would like to have display the corresponding memo field when a description is selected from the listbox.
This is my code so far:
Code: Private Sub lstHeatTreatments_AfterUpdate() Dim myConnection As ADODB.Connection Dim myRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset Dim mySQL As String Dim selectedRequirementKey As Long Set myConnection = CurrentProject.AccessConnection Set myRecordSet.ActiveConnection = myConnection
I have a text box that is Hyperlink to a directory that opens fine and gives me access to files that I need. What I want is to place a photo of a particular button I've found (in the form) and on the click event have the hyperlink in the text box activate and open the directory.
1. I can't change the shape of the text box or place a picture within it... 2. I can set the pictures control source as the hyperlink text box but that serves no purpose... 3. Making the text box transparent and all the text white then overlay-ed the picture ...
It worked but I would like the appropriate way to do this.....being at such a critical stage of my access development......

Im trying create a new form to add our current database that will password protect excel, word and if possible pdf documents when they are dragged onto it.
For now I only have 2 boxes 1 containing the password to be applied and the other to drag the file onto.
I have it all working so once its dragged on it works out if its a word doc, opens a hidden instance of word which then resaves it with a coded password.
The problem comes when change it so the user enters the password to protect it, when they enter a password or click on the drag box it doesn't allow the drag. it seems once they have entered the record the drag option is not available anymore.
i've looked but can't find the answer!! which is unusual as this forum covers everything. i have a field [photo location] with a hyperlink to a folder within which is a number of images. at the moment i have 2500 folders and its growing daily. the action i want when the 'photo location' field had got focus or when clicked is for the photos within the folder to open [not within the form itself] - either in seperate windows or preferably all together. i am using irfanview to display the images but am easy on this point. i do not want to give each photo its own hyperlink because there are thousands of them. any suggestions as to how i should do this?
I have a table called ComponentIndex with about 3000 entries. Each entry has an ID field and data in a hyperlink field called MSDSlink.
For each entry, I want to copy just the address part of the hyperlink to a new text column, let's call it MSDSAddress. This way, I only have the URL and no displaytext in that new column.
So I have a table with 2 fields.The first field has the addresses to multiple hyperlink paths to folders on my computer.In this field the display text matches the hyperlink paths.In the second field I have the desired display text for field 1.I have tried using an update query to either:
1) Change the display texts of field 1 to match field 2 while preserving the hyperlink path 2) Add the hyperlink path from field 1 to field 2 without altering the display name.
I cannot get either one to work. Upon updating field 1, I lose the path, and upon updating field 2, I lose the name.
Given a table field that is a hyperlink type. I need an Update Query to set all records of that table so that the Displayed Value part of the hyperlink field (not the Address part) is set to a particular value. Any ideas how? Thanks.
i want to browse the files from a form and then store hem to the database.i have the following code, i can show the file path to the text box but i don't know how to store the file or how to upload the file to the database.

In other words, I'd like to find FAKESERVER and replace it with C:Users in all 1000 records. Is there any possible way to do this if there is Text to display?
The following code browse from one form to another and shows the record details I select in the first form which is what I need, however, the problem is it only shows that record and will not allow me go to next or previous records when pressing NEXT or PREVIOUS by saying this is the First Record or this is the Last Record.
Anyway to modify it to allow me navigate to other records.
Dim txtJobNumber As Integer Private Sub Job_Number_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) 'Store Job_Number in txtJobNumber variable and display message to show value. txtJobNumber = [Job_Number]
I have created a form to send emails with attachments. The attachment path is specified in an unbound field which I have called [ToAttach] Rather than typing in the path, I want to use the browse function. I have inserted a browse button and can browse for the required file using following, but can't figure out how to place the file name in the unbound field as a string.
Code: Dim f As Object Set f = Application.FileDialog(3) f.AllowMultiSelect = False f.Show
I have a form displaying records. I would like the user to be able to select a button, browse for a file on a shared drive and link it to that record.
I have been exploring hyperlinking, which works for the most part, although I need it to display the share name rather than the drive assignment for that user. Such as drive1folder rather than C:folder.
Hyperlinking also unfortunatly requires the user to right click on a field select edit hyperlink then browse.
I need to return a folders directory to a text box on my forms record called Files_Directory when i click the Browse command button... The folder will have more folders within it along with documents all relivant to the folder selected, hense the need for just the folder directory rather than a file.
I am working in Access 2007. I have a form with 3 text boxes of which I need the Textbox3 to calculate a SUM of the input values from Textbox1 and Textbox2. These text fields will compute ONLY when the record is saved OR if there is a prepopulated value in the text field. EX. When textbox1 is populated with a value when I Openform, then as I input a value into textbox2 I immediately see the SUM in textbox3. Works great in this scenario. However, if both textboxes 1&2 are null, and I input a value into each, then I won't see the SUM in textbox3 UNTIL I save record.
How can I get the SUM to display after inputting the value of my textbox1&2?
How to set combo box for example doctor name with 2 field which display doctor name and department.
Lets say if i select doctor name : Eric and automatically display doctor department as: Surgery in text box. Then I can save patient record on appointment table.
I have a calculated value in an unbound textbox (avghcppmw). I want to run a query (qinsphistory) in which one of the fields is the value of the textbox (avghcppmw).
Is there any way to pull the value from the form and display it in the query. I'm assuming not.
I also assume the only way to do this would be to create a query that would calculate the textbox value and base (qinsphistory) on the newly made query.
